Ladies and Gentlemen,

Following on from the successful launch of the bar with the new range of drinks we are looking forward to a busy year with many exciting events. Starting tomorrow evening, we have Burns Night with all associated pomp and ceremony and exposed knees or black tie attire. The night kicks off at 1900 so we look forward to seeing you then.  

We now have the new (lilac) stickers for your passes in the office.  The guards are checking so if you have not done so yet please can you come to the office and collect a new sticker for each pass you hold, including car passes.

For forward planning please be aware, on Monday 2nd February we are doing some work on the electrics and phone lines in the Clubhouse.  As such phone lines will be down from about 1230 for 4 hours. 

Thank you to those that have come in to say hello and I look forward to meeting more during my time in the chair.

Regards, Kieran, Interim General Manager

HASLAR YACHT CLUB TALKS - FRIDAY 23RD JANUARY & FRIDAY 6TH FERBUARY

We are pleased to have Haslar Yacht Club returning to the clubhouse with two different talks;

Our members are welcome to attend these talks, which both run from 19:30 until 20:30, and our bar and galley will be open as usual.

CLUB NIGHT - FRIDAY 30TH JANUARY

Our Club Nights are taking on a slightly different format this year with a Happy hour from 6pm to 7pm, with all draught beer, wine and a standard G&T at half price. Each one will have a slightly different offering and at our next one on the 30th January we are hoping that we can get some Committee Members along so you can have the chance to meet and chat though any issues/suggestions.

NEW MEMBERS BRIEF - SATURDAY 31ST JANUARY

We would like to invite all new members, and any existing members who would like to join us, to a friendly introduction to the Club and its facilities on the 31st January from 1000. The session includes coffee, a brief in the Fabrosa Room followed by an informative walk round of the site and a buffet lunch. It's a great chance to get to know the Club, meet fellow members, and ask any questions in an informal setting. If you would like to come along, please email functions@hornetservicessailing.org.uk

COFFEE MORNING - TUESDAY 3RD FEBRUARY FROM 10AM

Join us for a relaxed coffee morning tasting our new coffee offering, a chance to pause, unwind and to catch up with friends. Whether you are on your own, new to the Club, want to meet up or just fancy a friendly face you will be very welcome. No need to book, just come along.

LADIES LUNCH - SATURDAY 7TH FEBRUARY

Calling all Hornet Ladies….  It can sometimes feel a little daunting coming to the club if you don't know many people, which is why we started the Ladies Lunch. A relaxed get together, a chance to meet other likeminded Hornet Ladies, enjoy some friendly conversation, and share lunch in a welcoming atmosphere. It's all about making connections and having a lovely time together. 

Email functions@hornetservicessailing.org.uk to book you place.
